CCMP is intended for experienced change management professionals who have had time to consistently demonstrate success in applying best practices for change. The CCMP was developed in accordance with international standards (ISO/ANSI) and
is based on an extensive Practice Analysis Study which investigated leading practices in change management with senior professionals around the world.

The CCMP credential confirms that you have the education, experience and skills to effectively manage change, and demonstrates your commitment to personal development in the discipline of change management. CCMP is a credential created by
change practitioners for change practitioners.

Earning a strong credential doesn't happen overnight, but it won't take long! Please see
our article on this topic for more information.

Will I need to renew my CCMP certification?

Once you pass the CCMP exam, your certification is 'in effect' for three years. Within that three-year period, you must maintain your credential through renewal activities.

During each three-year period, certificants must complete 60 Professional Development Units (PDUs) and record them in ACMP's online system. Each PDU corresponds to one hour spent on an activity (with the exception of experience) and requires
supporting evidence of completion. Keep all receipts and related documentation to validate your renewal application.

ACMP's credential makes an important statement in the change management community. Those who successfully apply for and add the letters CCMP™ after their name are expected to be both knowledgeable about leading change management practices
and able to use those skills to benefit their stakeholders.

As such, it is critical that submitted applications be honest and accurate. To that end, every applicant is asked to review and confirm that they agree to the Statement of Understanding. The most important aspects are that:

1. All information you provide is true and accurate 2. The submission, including essay responses, reflects your work and no one else 3. You will abide by ACMP's
Code of Ethics
